First Car?

1958 Corvette...that I wish I had kept. Was pure stock with 283 and a 3-speed. Growing up in So. California, I couldn't leave it stock. So, I eventually rebuilt the 283 punched out to 301 cu. in, put in a T-10 4-speed, and had it painted '67 Vette Marlboro Maroon.

Holy crap... I love that ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ car !...

...love those mags!

Here is my 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III and our pantera

Sorry for the rotation

First was mums datsun 140j, after i stuck it in a fence. sold a year later for a very low k
1600 ford escort sport. ( wish i still had that one)

Bought it right after I joined the Navy. First trip was from western Nebraska to Orlando. My first Cleveland! Tried to repaint it red. Never painted a car before. Turned out marginally OK, but learned quite a bit of what NOT to do. No pictures of my own, had to pull these off the web.

My first was also a Capri 1977 MK II 2.0 burgundy metallic with beige interior and beige vinyl roof.
I do not think I've taken a picture of it, but I still have it so...

I think it's because many were so impressed with the steering wheel design. They had to have them!

My first car was a Mini Clubman back in 73, it was orange with a vynil roof. It also had a antenna more then 2 meters long wich was cool at that time, the antenna was atached to the back of the car. Still the car I was most happy with.
